Opium Poppies Grown at WHF?

[Caroline]

1) There is no way WHF was licensed to grow opium poppies.

2) processing poppies into opium is an expensive process

3) The small field in question wound not be able to produce enough poppies to make it worthwhile they must be frown in large quantity for someone to actually want to buy from you and get a price that is decent.

4) They could have been weed poppies that were mistaken for opium poppies.

They grew hemp.

'Opium poppies aren't uncommon, at least not where I am.


Hemp is also not uncommon,  not uncommon in my lungs.

Hey Puggy, I never normally do the Bamber boards.  Bit before my time. (I was 5) Don't the know the full in's and out's of the case. (But I'm pretty sure Sheila didn't shoot herself twice in the chin).

But drugs, I've got more than my fair share of experience in that field, opium field or otherwise.

Is there any evidence the farm grew hemp?

JB grew cannabis plants in-between barns according to JM or SB or both.  Is there any independent evidence for this or an admission from JB?

MM admits during police interviews to supplying JB with hemp seeds for growing cannabis.

Who would have thought all this went on in 1980's rural Essex.  Mind blowing!

Yes, there is somewhere, I'll try and find it.

It doesn't tend to grow too well in this country.  Loose & airy, no real buds.

You have to use UV lights & hydroponics if you want good stuff.

UK field grown weed wouldn't even give me a slight buzz, more likely a sore throat.

It seems likely JB was producing cannabis at his cottage and using and supplying but I can't recall any mention of this in his police interviews?  Mention is made of JM's cheque fraud and OCP burglary the latter of which he was charged with.  Were charges pressed re the cannabis?  If not why not?

Apparently rats ate/attacked the cannabis plants at WHF?

According to JM, JB bought a propagator and other bits of kit which he used inside his cottage to grow cannabis plants until they were a certain height when he transferred them to his garden?

I know very little about recreational drugs.  I do recall a male friend making some hashish cake which was like flapjack.  I had some but I can't recall anything significant happening.  Surely cooking destroys it?

Is there any difference between cannabis, hash and marijuana?

Cannabis & Marijuana are names for the plant & it's flower/ bud.

Hashish( that's the stuff people normally put in cakes) is the solid form, often made using most of the plant, leaves/stem etc, processed & compressed into a block.

It's potency would depend upon the quality/maturity of the plant, (unless grown under UV, in this country, wouldn't fully mature & wouldn't be very potent at all).

The real deal, the bit with the most THC, the psychoactive part, which most people these days just call Weed or Skunk, is just the bud/flower of the plant when at full maturity & dried out.

Bambers UK garden weed is likely to have been like smoking cabbage, I'm not suprised the police ignored it.

You can be 100% certain she didn't shoot herself in the chin, she had no gunshot wounds to her chin- she was shot 2 times in the neck.  But she didn't shoot herself in the neck while seated then after she died have an out of body experience where she removed the moderator and put it away and then lied down flat and put the gun on top of her.  Clearly someone else was there.

Sorry, yeah, neck.

I've read a little about the case, I understand that in JB's fantasy, Sheila would have had to overpower her stepfather during a fight in the kitchen.....

...and then shoot herself twice, remove the gun silencer then lay back down.

She sounds pretty tough, wouldn't have wanted to argue with her.

Thanks.  I ddn't really have any idea about potency although I was aware skunk is pretty potent.

My pleasure.

I like a bit of horticulture.

There are lots of different strains of cannabis plant, just like any other plant species, they all have slightly different looking flowers, different tastes and smells.

White Rhino, for instance, is one variety that's very sort after, has a very high THC content.

There are other interesetingly named varietys like Cheese , Purple Haze, Strawberry Chronic or Mango, to name a few.

I love all of natures beautiful fruits
